Question: I am not sure what you mean by the Lanier displaying
anything. Is there a display on the printer? Is this a network printer
that talks to the server? This may be an idiosyncracy of the lanier.

Suggestion:
Is there a way to modify the print command in smb.conf so that it mv's
the job from samba.xxx to ProperJobName, and then print the job with
lpr and forget about the %J parameter?

For example, without trying this, I could certainly see putting into the
smb.conf print command something like this:
mv %s %J
lpr %J

Other questions:
Are you getting the right name when viewed from the windows clients?
If lpq is working properly on the server, do you have the correct lpq
command in your smb.conf?  eg.

	lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -PWin4LinZ53

Does the user printing have permissions to use lpq?

Have you specifed which printing system (lprng) you are using in your smb.conf
file? BSD is the default, or, at least it was.

Another suggestion:
You might use tcpdump to monitor what is sent back and forth between
the server and the clients. I would THINK the server would be sending
back the jobname for display, but, I haven't tried this.
